About Us
We are a Midwest-based, independently owned public accounting and advisory firm with over five decades of history — and we have grown nearly 18% over the past two years while maintaining a median employee tenure approaching 8 years. Growth and retention at the same time. Most firms cannot say that. We are nationally recognized, a multiple-time Best Places to Work honoree, and have built a remote culture that is not a compromise — it is how we actually operate. Our remote professionals lead engagements, get promoted, and make partner.
What You Will Do
- Lead financial statement audit engagements across a diverse commercial client base from planning through issuance
- Own the day-to-day client relationship — you are the face of the engagement, not a layer removed from it
- Review workpapers, lead fieldwork, and ensure engagements are delivered on time and on budget
- Mentor and develop senior associates and staff
- Collaborate directly with partners on client strategy and business development
- Apply technical knowledge to complex accounting issues — ASC research, financial reporting matters, and client-specific challenges
What We Are Looking For
- Active CPA required
- 5–7+ years of public accounting audit experience with at least 1–2 years managing engagements or supervising teams
- Strong technical foundation in US GAAP and financial statement auditing across commercial industries
- Strong client-facing communication skills — someone clients trust and want on their engagement
- Self-directed and comfortable working in a remote-first environment
What We Offer
- Base salary up to $160,000, commensurate with experience
- Performance bonus — typically 10% on average; high performers at 15%
- 100% remote — work from anywhere in the US
- Firm-wide annual trips to top destinations — all expenses paid
- Pre and post-busy season gatherings — remote employees flown in
- New hire orientation in Chicago — hotel and travel fully covered
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
- CPE support and meaningful investment in your professional development
- A firm where remote professionals lead, advance, and make partner
